    A mix of all we love of Sonic but not so inspired. It takes the classic style of the hedgehog and bring some upgrades to the gameplay. Fans will love Sonic Origins, but maybe they would want more content.

    A warm fairy tale with wonderful audio-visual aspects, but little gameplay innovation. If you are looking for a short adventure that allows you to experience a good turn-based RPG experience without having to invest too much time in it, this game is a very good option for that.

    Disney Illusion Island has a special value for being a Metroidvania-style game with multiplayer mode for up to four people, but the incorrect camera setup and uninspired artistic design and level design make it an adventure that doesn't live up to Disney's most important character.

    A modern game with a retro style that will delight speedrun fans, providing hours and hours of fun with some of the best classics in Nintendo's history.

    Another Code: Recollection brings back Ashley's story with improved visual representation, but leaves the puzzles behind. It loses the essence of Another Code to give the series a more cinematic touch and turns this compilation into almost a visual novel.

    Next Level Games has perfected the new Mario Strikers to feel fresher and funnier than ever, focusing on offline and online multiplayer modes. The original soundtracks aren't so good, although these little issues are not remarkable due to its cool art style.

    Shadow Labyrinth delves into the darkest corners of the Pac-Man universe, offering a demanding, mysterious, and deeply strategic metroidvania experience. Its captivating art style, well-balanced mechanics, and tough-but-fair difficulty make it stand out for its originality—though slightly held back by imprecise controls.

    Souldiers is a 2D metroidvania with Souls-like touches that stands out for its fluid, challenging and deep gameplay. A stimulating experience with a great artistic value which is only weighed down by various technical problems that promise to be corrected sometime in the future.

    Just Dance continues to make small steps towards its new evolution as an on-demand song service. Despite new inclusions like the Sweat Mode, its real weight lies in the constant updates throughout the year and in the ever-growing catalog of Just Dance +. This year, the game doesn't feel like just another installment, but rather an extension of a huge musical library.

    Given the track record of the Wii Sports series, we expected Nintendo Switch Sports to be a relatively well-rounded product, but both the small amount of content and its online instability for games such as Chambara and Badminton left us a bittersweet taste.

    Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is an ideal game for fans of Japanese mystery games who are looking for a different experience from the usual. Mixing puzzles with shoot 'em up we have found a very original title that, without standing out too much in anything, has turned out to be an enjoyable experience.

    Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have failed as open-world games. Its premise with three routes seems original, but it becomes a repetitive task in which some mini-games in the gyms are really boring. Although the Pokémon are better recreated than ever in their wild environments, the overall performance of the game is terrible, affecting the gameplay and giving the impression that we are playing an incomplete game.

    Oddballers is a fun, varied game with a lot of possibilities, especially in local multiplayer. The lack of optimization in the Nintendo Switch version, as well as the lack of character voices, makes it feel less cool and well-made than its predecessor.

    Samba de Amigo Party Central becomes a must-have for the Nintendo Switch to break the ice at parties. Despite some issues with motion controls, its eye-catching characters and music will get anyone up and dancing to steal the spotlight on the dance floor. A fun title that offers a variety of modes for both solo and group play.

    Just Dance returns once again with Just Dance 2025 Edition. Although this installment doesn’t particularly innovate in gameplay, Ubisoft has decided to focus on accessibility in its dances to make the game more inclusive than ever.

    Tales of Kenzera: ZAU tells a touching story about the loss of a loved one through the metroidvania genre. Both its gameplay and execution are solid, though the ambition to create a vast map has turned the continent of Kenzera into an empty place to explore.

    The Indigo Disk will provide you with one of the best Pokémon experiences in recent years, thanks to all its new mechanics and a huge amount of new Pokémon.

    It combines exploration, platforming, puzzles, impressive combat and gameplay as simple as it is addictive. Spice it up with Peruvian folklore and add a dash of metroidvania, a bit of soulslike and stunning artwork.

    Sonic takes Nintendo Switch to the limit with a strange open world in its own way, very funny and entertaining to play. It draws inspiration from some of the best open world games to please all kinds of gamers.

    Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition feels more like an interactive museum than a simple compilation. It brings together five versions of the 1995 classic, along with more than 120 extra levels, a fascinating documentary, and accessibility features that soften its legendary difficulty. However, the lack of the original soundtrack in an edition meant to celebrate that very legacy keeps it from being the definitive tribute Rayman deserved.

    Shuten Order is a dark visual novel that blends multiple narrative genres depending on the path you choose. Although its mechanics are somewhat superficial and certain sections can feel tedious, its intriguing story and memorable characters make it worth seeing through to the end.

    There's a lot of life left in the Rabbids. Despite their technical simplicity, going back to their party roots has brought them back in a fun direction that we liked.

    Although its characters are charismatic and its gameplay can be entertaining, aspects of Rune Factory 5 such as its technical aspect or its lack of visual grace make us realise that we are in front of a title mainly focused on the fans of the series that are looking forward for a new adventure in the town of Rigbarth.

    Konami hasn’t put in all the effort it should’ve in Super Bomberman R 2. The new modes and innovations compared to the classic Bomberman aren’t particularly enjoyable and underutilize a very powerful gameplay core. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from performance and resolution issues.

    Aeterna Noctis surprises you with its high difficulty and charms you with its addictive gameplay. A metroidvania that brings together elements of great games to create a big universe, that although it shines with its own light, it doesn't end up innovating, but it does very well what it sets out to do.

    Return to DK Island in a nostalgic challenge packed with secrets, then dive into Emerald Rush, a fast-paced treasure hunt that tests your reflexes and skill. This DLC adds variety and replay value for fans eager for more Donkey Kong action.

    Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection invites us to experience the stories of Max and Chloe with a remastered version of the first two games. On a technical level it has some flaws, but that does not mean we can't enjoy one of the most exciting and vibrant stories of recent years in a portable version.

    A game that can be enjoyed without any problem by die-hard Pokémon fans looking for original stories beyond the main games of the franchise. The younger ones will overlook its outdated graphics and will be captivated by the fantastic recreation of Pokémon in a realistic world.

    Minabo is a curiosity in the Nintendo Switch catalog, showcasing a fun play on words on the outside and a powerful game concept that doesn't quite delve too deeply.
